i have found a 1968 GMC 4X4 half ton with the 305 v6 motor. It is a rather rough farm truck, but doesn't have that bad of rust (slight rockers and mounts, corners ok) It hasn't run in at least 2 years, but was running when parked , the same old story. It has a 4 speed and had a wood bed that is now covered by a sheet of treadplate. The interior is ok except for the seat. the windshield is cracked totally.

Do you think a truck like this is worth 700 bucks i attached an old picture (i've been stalking it for a while now)

thanks

Yep, that's what I paid for my 69 K20, and it looks to be in the same condition.

It should be a Rockwell T221 t-case.I say the truck is worth that price.

4-by frame, salvageable cab and 68 front end -- hell yes that is worth it.

There is a dude on here (Joesjunk i think) that specializes in these.--- that is , finds a beat up 4-by and lowers a cherry 2-by body on it

shhh, don't tell him about this one, i don't want him to get the jump on me
:)

If it was a 1971-72, i'd be all over it, but i just don't know the desirability of the 1968 4X4 parts with the 305 v6 motor, but it is a 4X4 and it is our body style, and i do have an extra small block laying around...

thanks

The 305 doesn't have much value to most but if the cab, front clip, frame is decent, that is where the value is. Huck
